What happens when one of the best female designers and one of the best male designers on the grid collaborate? A match made in heaven- and I am not just talking about the wings on my Blueberry booty. Blueberry and Deadwool just released an amazing set of collaboration jeans for her and him. You need to get out and fatpack this set as soon as possible. I personally could not decide which version I loved the most because they are all so amazing. Each single purchase will include 2 styles of jeans and booty options. The Fun pack (shown) includes the full length and capri ripped versions and the Classic pack includes the skinny and bootcut versions. Men also get two versions in each of their purchases as well- regular and rolled cuff. The fatpacks contain extra exclusive textures as well. 

        Powder Pack April 2017 for Catwa was released on the 17th. It is packed with goodies! Full skins in multiple tones from 4 designers and tons of makeup, eyelashes, eyes, and other gorgeous items. I am wearing items from 5 of the 12 designers in the above picture including: Essences skin, Pink Fuel lipstick, DeeTalez eyeshadow, Modish eyelashes and eyes, and Just Magnetized blush. I made a video of the whole pack so take a look at that below or on my You Tube channel (and subscribe if you like it!). My video is the whole pack in only 7 minutes. 

My dress that I am wearing is also in a monthly subscription box- Luxe Box April- by Tres Blah. I also did an unboxing video of that box and am going to embed it below as well. Happy Unboxing!

        Reign just released the Arya heels at N21. This fatpack of shoes is amazing and fully customizable via HUD. You get three ribbon lengths- short, knee, or thigh- and you can change the heels to chunky, pointed, or clear glass. I made a collage of this shoe below so you can see all the variations. 

        It is nearing the end of the month, which means a lot of events will be ending and new ones will begin. I am wearing two Blueberry items from past Luxe boxes. You get an amazing fatpack from Blueberry in every box (or at least we have so far!). A fatpack from Blueberry is almost the cost of the entire box and that alone makes Luxe box worth your gamble. I know I would be sad if I had missed all the past Blueberry Luxe box goodies. Plus subscription boxes are fun! You can join the group March 1st to get in on the next Luxe box and you can also buy past boxes once you join the group too (in case you want to get the amazing BB items I am wearing in this post). 

        Cae is at Whimsical with this simple single rose set, Fiore. A necklace and earrings are available and this charm coordinates with the Lovestruck charm bracelet as well. Now for the Reign Arya collage so you can see the awesome variations availabe in this shoe:

        Luxe Box July came! It comes at 2 AM my time in RL and it is almost 8AM right now- so I stayed up all night making this video, rofl. I am tired so I am going to keep this short and sweet. There were 11 items in the box (Mish Mish will be coming later) and to see my reaction and thoughts to all the things- look at this video!

* OOPS I just realized that I accidentaly said (32:18) in my video at the end "Moon is not ready yet." I meant to say "Mish Mish is not ready yet." Oops! It was about 5  AM or so at that point and I was tired! Sorry Moon hair! <3 Kirsten

        Just Because is at Mesh Body Addicts with this sexy top and skirt. The Katie skirt and Felicia top are sold separately in 14 colors and made in fitmesh for Maitreya, Slink (all), and Belleza (all). The panties and string belt are both texture change via HUD. 

        My 7 Deadly s[K]ins, Dawn skin is also new at MBA. I have not really tried this skin brand in a while and the skin tones seem different to me. I like the new tones a lot better than what I remembered in the past. I am wearing Caramel. So if you have not tried 7 Deadly Skins in a while, definitely go get a demo and see what you think. This skin is really pretty, although I would ideally want light eyebrows for myself and every day wear. 

        Dawn only comes with dark eyebrows, so I have paired it with the Magika hair I got in my May Luxe Box. This is one of the three additional colors that was added as an update after consumers gave some feedback to the designers. A few Luxe Box designers improved on their initial items (even though they were already amazing) and sent out updated products with even more features after listening to their customers!

        I found a texture design artist on flick that I really like- Kerstin Frank. She has a whole lot of free to use as long as you credit, high resolution textures in her stream.

         What is a Bluety, you say? A blueberry booty, of course. Blueberry released these amazing ripped jeans yesterday and actually they come with two booty versions. When I first put each version on, I was looking at it from the side and I did not see any difference. Then I looked straight on from the back and definitely saw the change. It is not like you have to decide because you get BOTH booty versions, but the blueberry booty is a bit tighter so it looks like the jeans hug every part of your "assets" and the cutie booty is a bit more round and slightly poked out in the back. Blue shared this gyazo to help show us the difference, blueberry booty on the right and cutie booty on the left:

       I think I like the booty on the right best, Blueberry Booty. What do you think? Let me know in the comments!

      My top is also by Blueberry. I got it in the May Luxe Box. If you missed this month's round, you can still get your hands on this fatpack top (with iridescent colors included!). You can sign up for Luxe Box next month (pay group join fee), then you can go to the in world Luxe Box Boutique and buy the May box that you missed. It really was a tremendous deal with amazing items inside! Worth way more than the 1K sticker price!

        I am also wearing new hair by Doe. This high side ponytail is fitted mesh so it goes around your shoulder and moves really well as you move. You can find it at Whimsical. My earrings are new by Kunglers and will be released at Shiny Shabby tomorrow. They come in five gem combinations. I paired them with another Kunglers necklace, Natalie, that you can find at the main store. My Essenz shoes, Buenos Aires, are available at The Chapter Four for only 99L for each color (12 colors available). Finally my Nantra "Walk of Shame" poses come with an entire bus stop, cell phone, and shoe props as well as 6 poses and their mirrors. Find this pose set at The Thrift Shop 13.

            The first Luxe Box came today and I personally could not be happier with my items. When you join a subscription box (in SL or RL) make sure you know the brands that are participating and that your style and needs (type of mesh body for example) match up with them. I personally adore seven out of twelve of my items and I like the other five a lot. I think that is pretty great for a secret subscriber box. The fun for me was in not knowing what I would be getting and then opening ALL THE THINGS. I have five of the twelve items in my picture above (Tres Blah, Magika, Mish Mish, Scarlet Creative, tarte). I really do truly like all twelve things that I got. I think the quality is exceptional and that the designers all brought their A game. You can see them all in my plurk, HERE with normal windlights. 

         If you do not own the Maitreya Lara body, then this might not be the event for you. However, the participating designers (especially erratic) are known for favoring that body and two of the designs did come made only for Maitreya. It is one of my favorite bodies, so I am happy. I feel like I made out like a bandit. There was a lot of complaining in various groups today and I really don't understand it at all. The only advice I have is make sure you know ALL of the designers, their styles and bodies they create for before you subscribe. We were told who the participating designers were going to be (so the Maitreya only designs should not have been a surprise). The Blueberry fatpack top (which is normally 1299L) was worth the subscription alone, plus I got eleven other great things!

        If you missed this round and now that you are seeing all the things and want them, you have a chance to purchase the box next month. You have to sign up for the June box (so pay the entry fee next month), then you can go to the in world Luxe Box Boutique (starting June 1st) and buy the May round box that you missed (with your Luxe Box group tag on). I am not sure if it will be the same introductory 1000L price or higher. I suspect higher because this was truly a steal of a deal. Find out more on the official Luxe Box website.
